• APPLICATION IN DAILY LIFE •By Karthik, Krishna, Magesh, Makesh and Ram ananth •In geometry, a tetrahedron is a polyhedron composed of four triangular 0f faces, three of which meet at each vertex. It has six edges and four vertices. The tetrahedron is the only convex polyhedron that has four faces. •The tetrahedron is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a Euclidean simplex. •The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, which is a polyhedron with a flat polygon base and triangular faces connecting the base to a common point. In the case of a tetrahedron the base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base), so a tetrahedron is also known as a triangular pyramid. •The shape, tetrahedron, has a variety of applications ranging from chemistry to sports. •The uses of tetrahedron can be widely classified into •Chemistry •Electrical and electronics •Games •Contemporary Art •Alexander Graham Bell was a proponent of use of the tetrahedron in framework structures, including kites .The opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron are perpendicular, and so can form a universal coupling if hinged appropriately. •Eight regular tetrahedra can be placed in a ring which rotates freely, and the number can be reduced to six for squashed irregular tetrahedra . •The tetrahedron shape is seen in nature in covalent bonds of 3 molecules. All sp -hybridized atoms are surrounded by atoms lying in each corner of a tetrahedron. •For instance in a methane molecule (CH ) or an ammonium ion (NH +), 4 4 four hydrogen atoms surround a central carbon or nitrogen atom with tetrahedral symmetry. •For this reason, one of the leading journals in organic chemistry is called Tetrahedron. •The central angle between any two vertices of a perfect tetrahedron is , or approximately 109.47 . •Water, H O, also has a
